WASHINGTON, NOV. 7, 1881
THE NEW YORK EtEcTroS.

No election has taken place since
November, 1884, that excited such
eager and universal interest as Is now
concentrated on the election to take
place in New York to morrow.
The contest in the city Of New York
over the District Attorneyship Is OF
unprecedented yirllence In some Of its
local characteristics, aud has of course
some bearing on the general result.
The probabilities are that Colonel Eel.
lows, the candidate of the United De.
mocracy, will be elected by large
majority.
But the contest in tho State forms
the National and more notable featu e
Of the campaign, for ,be reason that -
defeat OF the Democratic candidate for
Secretary OF State would be regarded,
whether with entire justice or not, as
In the nature of a rrbukc of Mr.. Cleve.
lands administration.
There being five tickets In the field
tie outlook Is Shrouded In uncertainty.
Rel ublicans and Democrats alike
assume TO be confident Of victory, but
1t is 10 be noted that while they can
make something like definite calcula.
tion as to the 60 nposilion and
amount Of the Prohibition vote,
the politicians are all at sea
as TO where the strain of the Uni cd
Labor vote will most be felt. This / /,
the doubtful quantity.
The Prohibitionists, as all admit,
will draw largely on the Republicans
for their strength, and the United La-
Dor candidates will in all probability
derive most of their support from the
ranks of the Democracy, but In what
proportion the wlsest of the prophets
hesitate to place themselves on record
The chances are that Mr., George
has overestimated his strength In the
State outside of the metropolis, aud
that the compactness Of his expected
vote in the city will be somewhat de,
ranged by the peculiarly personal shape
that has been given TO the fight over
Fellows and Nicoll.

SwoRDDEARER, the great chief and
medicine man of the Crows, who was
killed in the engagement with General
Ruger last Saturday, had been up In

his obstinate refusal to surrender. 1t
is to be hoped that all good Indians

example and sign the pledge forth
